Gu ngng chuckled delightfully as she stretched her hands out to catch a snowflake. The snow did not lt imdiately in her hands and only started lting into water slowly after three to five seconds. That water was extrely crystal-clear and emitted a gorgeous halo when the sunlight was refracted from it.
Gu ngng laughed sneakily before rubbing her two hands together, saring the icy cold water droplets on her palms. After her palms beca cool, she abruptly placed her hands on Elvis’s neck as swift as a sudden clap of lightning and waited in surprise for Elvis to stamp his foot from the cold.
However, when she looked up, she t eyes with Elvis’s devoted eyes on her.
Her figure was clearly reflected in those blue eyes. It was as if everything in the world was pale without any aning other than her.
This gaze stirred up Gu ngng’s feelings, and she retracted her hands back, laughing awkwardly, “Why aren’t you scared of the cold? You’re not fun at all.”
Elvis patted her head and answered, “I’m a wolf.”
After he finished speaking, he carried Gu ngng back into the cave. Gu ngng had not finished playing, she acted shalessly by saying that she wanted to build a snowman or engage in a snow fight. However, Elvis did not listen to her and said that if they did not go back any sooner, the entrance of the cave would be sealed by the snow and they would not be able to go back even if they wished to.
Although Gu ngng felt that it could not be this exaggerated, but when she turned her head back, she noticed that the snow had gotten heavier suddenly. The rate of the fall of the snowflakes were not so beautiful as before and instead, gave off an outrageous aura. Gu ngng did not create a scene anymore and just cuddled up obediently in Elvis’s arms, letting him carry her into the cave.
Elvis had already stored firewood in the cave long ago. The amount of firewood that could last them through the entire winter was calculated by Lea and it was enough for Gu ngng to stay warm and cook her als.
Now that the weather has beco shockingly chilly, the firewood could co in handy.
Elvis brought the old clothes Gu ngng wore before from the cave besides theirs and lay them on the ground, piling them layer by layer to form sothing like a cattail hassock. Then, he placed Gu ngng on it and lifted the beast-skin on her that had snow on it to roast it on one side before wrapping her up again with a dry beast-skin.
All these actions ca so naturally and proficiently that even Elvis was taken aback by himself. Only a little more than a month had passed, and he was getting handier and better at taking care of Gu ngng.
“Elvis, how did all of you survive through winter when there’s no fire in the past?” Gu ngng held a wooden cup in her hands. That wooden cup was filled with hot water that Elvis gave her just now.
Elvis took a clean snow from the entrance of the cave and placed it in the stone pot to continue cooking while replying to her, “Lie in the cave and try not to move.”
Gu ngng found it unbelievable as she smiled while questioning him, “Do you wolves hibernate too?”
Elvis shook his head and replied, “I don’t hibernate.”
Gu ngng said, “Then, why don’t all of you build a larger cave so that everyone can live together. It’s great to chat with one another too. Winter is such a long season, it’s so lonely to be all by yourself.”
Elvis paused his actions and then slowly answered her, “If we stay together, under the situation of food shortage, it’s very hard to control our prival instincts. We don’t want to hurt our tribesman.”
Gu ngng was shocked, and she thought for a mont before understanding what Elvis ant about them treating their tribesman as food under extre hunger... so to prevent this kind of situation from happening, they then spend the endless and torturous winter in their own caves?
